Simple serenity on the Cornish coast

Discover the simple pleasures of life all wrapped up in a Cistercian-like serenity. Padstow Manor House is calm, contemporary and cool on the Cornish north coast in the heart of St Issey. With 12 elegant bedrooms, Padstow Manor House offers 26 guests a world of stripped-back minimalism in clean oak, white walls and exposed Cornish slate.

Life here is spatial and special, full of light and laughter set where the downs meet the granite cottages and crystal creeks of the Camel estuary. Reconnect, reunite and celebrate with the people who matter. For family, friends, hens and up to two dogs, there are five reception spaces here for enthusiastic connection or quiet introspection.

Hang out in the wood-fired hot tub for up to eight. Then towel off and pour a beer at the bar. Eat supper from the pizza oven and spend your nights around the firepit, swapping stories and sharing dreams. The garden’s where the setting’s spirituality finds its ultimate focus, in the oval sun lawn and outdoor kitchen ringed by garden rooms.

Get around the 52” TVs for Apple-TV movie nights in the snug and the living room. In the online Lobby, curate your stay. Book wine-tasting, breakfast delivered to your door, in-house yoga, a curry night or maybe a personal photographer to document your break. Post the results to Insta on the in-house Wi-Fi.

Gardens and grounds

The garden at Padstow Manor House is where the serenity of the house meets the calm of nature. Head out from the garden rooms to the oval sun lawn to chill with a beer from the bar and cook pizza in the outdoor kitchen.

Stay out there for the evening to stare at the gazillions of stars from the eight-person, woodfired hot tub, then towel off, wrap up and chew the fat around the firepit until the owls begin to hoot.

Living spaces

Choose from five living spaces, each one more serene and spiritual than the last. This is an 18th-century build restored to its original plan by Parti Architects. The honesty and authenticity of the past shine through in a celebration of exposed Cornish slate, original beams and restored fireplaces, all wrapped in a chic white minimalism.

And yet you’ll feel right at home here on the wild Cornish coast, totally relaxed and cocooned in the lap of luxury, with everyone who matters close at hand. Get together around the main living area’s 52” smart TV with Apple FireStick or escape for alternative entertainment to the snug TV.

Stay up late on a school night with games around the fire. Chat, laugh, and plan your stay using the online Lobby system: use the reception spaces for in-house activities such as yoga or as a setting for professional photography that documents the love and laughter you shared along the way.

Cooking and dining

Share the cooking in the white-and-slate Cornish kitchen on four electric ovens and two hobs, then get everyone together around the dining table that fronts the picture window onto the garden. Or head out there to the outdoor kitchen for pepperoni specials from the pizza oven washed down with beer from the bar.

Stay out there for sociable suppers warmed by the flames from the firepit. Or hand over the cooking to the pros: call up our chefs from DineIndulge for everything from a one-off celebration to a hog roast to a fully catered break. Or book tasty takeaways from Jojo’s Kitchen, Chip Ahoy, Fryer Tuck’s and Baan Waan Thai.

Head out to local pubs such as the 17th-century Ring O’Bells, with beers on tap and hearty, home-cooked pub grub such as Ringers’ Proper Pie, with beef cooked in real ale, or fresh Cornish fish pie. Or try catches, cuts and picks from the local Cornish larder at The Pickwick Inn with a side order of splendid views.

Try The Journeyman restaurant, with Asian curries served in a converted watermill. Maybe The Stepping Stone in Wadebridge, for marinated monkfish or local Cornish sirloin steak with blue cheese. Or perhaps it’ll be grilled bream with laksa noodles or sea bass fillet from Rick Stein’s.

Best of all, with 26 guests, you can bring home with you, with all of its aunts, uncles, cousins and grannies. Oh, and two four-legged friends.

Older kids will enjoy staring at the stars from the eight-seat, wood-fired hot tub. Inside, movie nights beckon on one of two 52” smart TVs complete with Apple FireStick.

Best holiday ever. It's like a new way of travelling; a luxurious country house, top hotel standard, but incredible value. Loved the Miele kitchens, super large hot-tub, toiletries in all bathrooms, dining room for 26, fire pit, pizza oven, so near the beach. I could go on and on and on. Wow. We will book every year without a doubt. - Tom

Everything was seamless, including the swift return of my deposit. Safe to say I would recommend them in a heartbeat and will be definitely booking with them again. - Emma
